Geislingen 100 million (not cancelled)!

Description

A really nice looking 100 million mark note from Geislingen which has not been cancelled! This piece is in ‘au-unc‘ condition and has a graphic on its reverse along with a typed number 735’. The bottom line states:

'Nachahmung oder Faelschung dieses Gutscheines wird mit Zuchthaus bestraft'

('Imitation or counterfeiting of this voucher will be punished with 
imprisonment.')

It wasn’t just imprisonment though : “Zuchthaus” would be more like a “re-education facility”. It was more a penitentiary or a house of correction. It was a place for punitive imprisonment, often with forced labor.
